GSP inks Zappavigna

Gary Shaw Productions has inked undefeated Australian lightweight Lenny Zappavigna (21-0, 15 KOs). He will make his United States debut December 12th on the undercard of WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy ‘Desert Storm’ Bradley’s defense against Lamont Peterson. “Lenny Zappa is the goods – the whole goods,” said Shaw. “His hair style is reminiscent of Kostya Tszyu, but more importantly so is his power. I see him following in the footsteps of those that have been great in the lightweight division before him. The best part of promoting Lenny is that I get to do it with Elias Nassar. It’s the byproduct of a beautiful friendship and I look forward to working with him on developing more talent from Australia, Armenia and Russia for many years to come.”
